I am keen to get the Android source for this if possible to play with and modify it, I am looking for a project to do to learn android and this is awesome! If you are not still developing this, or even if you are, can I please get a look at the android source for this?Keen to expand and develop this with you if possible...?

Again a nice project.For me it is working.I am interested in the arduino part as wel as in the android part.You launched the arduino source code. Can you also launch the ardroid code?I,am still working to have the lamps etc. controlled over the internet via the ethernet board. At home it is working on yhe local network. I like to have it over the internet over a longer distance.

Is that coming?Which android programming book is helpfull? Can you recommend.

Not sure if anyone is interested but i wanted my DomoticHome / arduino to be flexible with te IP range so i could use the home made 315MHZ adapters anywhere ... so i updated it to work with DHCP... example below

So the latest addition to my home automation arsenal are some 315MHZ E27 relay sockets, I got 4 of them + remote for $24US... they work really well but.... the build quality is crap so I don't think they would be legal in most countries!

I used the rc-switch library to detect the codes being transmitted and then put them into my DomoticHomeListner code... so I can control these from my android phone.

Hi everyone, I'm new at this forum and I'm ushering in home automation as they are now being built in my home, can anyone help me make my home automation system using Arduino and Android? (I need to know to buy materials and how to interface them with each other) I can attach the plan of my house.

It's really going to depend on what you're trying to achieve. Home Automation is a very broad term with many different aspects to it that may or may not be relavent to you.

As a simple example, say you wanted to turn a light on and off with your phone. Such a simple task can be a pretty complex project depending on your requirements. How are you switching the light? Relay, X10? How are you connecting the light to the arduino? XBee, X10, RF, wired? How is the phone communicating with the arduino? Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wifi?

The best way to start is to figure out exactly what you want to accomplish and read up on the different technologies and methods of implementation.
